More and more applications and services are moving to the cloud, and users expect support across multiple devices. Intel and Gproxy found that an enhanced user experience can be delivered through a more balanced computer model. Intel has introduced a series of Web APIs that allow Web developers to assess the capabilities of the client. Using a tool such as Gproxy’s development environment, developers can enable these Web APIs in their Web applications and obtain information about the client capabilities. This Webcast will review the Gproxy Intel® Cloud Builders reference architecture focusing on the Client Device Score (CLIDES) by Gproxy, which ranks a client device’s capabilities including CPU, CPU load, connection type, bandwidth and screen resolution, helping to optimize the user experience based on the client device’s capabilities.
